I know that two of these cars were built, probably both are alive. The mechanicals are from ZAZ.

Why do I get here an image of a man dressed in white?

2 of those were built, one was for sale a couple of years ago, the other one is rotting away in Tallinn, parked in a garden next to a Estonia 21 wreck and some other old soviet cars. It is rear engined, with ZAZ powerplant and glassfibre body. If I recall correctly, there was a capacity limit for road-going self-built cars in USSR, it was probably about 1 litre. That's why ZAZ engine had to be used, all the other passenger car engines in USSR were atleast 1,2-litres or larger. Kalle Keel was chief designer in TARK, but I think this car was more like his private project, than a prototype for the Estonia factory - it was hard to buy a car in Soviet Union, so some people decided to make their own cars. I'm not kidding.
I haven't got any articles about it so I don't know more details.

As far as I know, at least one of these cars is planned to be restored in a near future, so maybe we'll be able to see its new born.

That's fantastic news! I really like the styling of this car, a very neat design, if a little dated for '76 (hey, things moved slower behind the iron curtain...) If it had been built in western europe on Fiat mechanicals it would probably be worth tens of thousands now  :)

Does anybody know any other self-built cars from Estonia? I know only one example without this.
